I always associated that tune with going to Deepdale as a kidBack in the early 70s I remember the team coming out to March of the Toreador it the bit about halfway through the overture or am I mistaken?

Surveys are a waste of time.What the f*** are British universities doing, wasting time and money, researching shit like this? What possible academic value can there be?
Surely it’s a wind up?
That's wolves isn't it. Hi ho Wolverhampton?Do WBA use High Hi Silver Lining these days?
Maybe play it when we pass their flag round then.That's wolves isn't it. Hi ho Wolverhampton?
The song on that one?
O'Fortuna by Carl Orff I think.
As an aside checking that account, under Craig Brown it appears to be Samba De Janiero

Let's be honest, right minded people won't answer one on-line like this and are savvy enough to avoid anyone with a clipboard on the High Street.😁
No , Wolves use the Selector song. It was banned for a while, but it’s back.That's wolves isn't it. Hi ho Wolverhampton?
The way I view stuff like this is that it preserves culture. I'm doing an english lit degree at the minute and mostly do contemporary stuff because if you want to learn about people like us (Northern, working class) it's only really been turned into fiction and studied over the last century or so, before that it's all posh cunts invading places and getting married and having tea. I'd love to know as much as possible about the match day experience in the Invincibles era, how normal working Prestonians spent their Saturday afternoons and what the occasion was like around that all conquering team, but because academia wasn't bothered about it there's no way to. Whatever the study is focused on I think it's great that (hopefully) in 200 years someone will be able to go into the archive and learn more about what football's like now. I think the kind of music that's played is a really interesting way of looking at that and really helps get the vibe of the occasion. On the face of it snooker and darts are very similar sports but in reality they're vastly different experiences and the music at the two events really sum that upI know I was being a bit sarcy, for effect., I was actually a little interested to see if/how people would respond but I still strongly believe it to be a bullshit project.
It’s not so much the cost of lecturer salaries (their lacky students will probably do much of the legwork) - it’s the opportunity cost. These capable people have a finite amount of time and it galls me when it is dedicated to projects that are IMO clearly either invented only to keep students busy - or to try to write a report that will “get on the news” or that is funded for other spurious or commercial reasons, without adding any real value to society.
There is plenty of important stuff to do. Some of it involving cultural research with no apparent financial value. But come on - Songs that footballers run out to?? Really?? The cultural or academic value of the work, as described in the OP, is practically zilch IMO. They could be doing something of much greater usefulness.
It was a joke you div.“Surveys are a waste of time”.
quite right, we don’t want to trust anyone that’s actually researched their subject.
